Objectives and Skills

The Inter-faculty Masters Programme in Development and International Cooperation provides students with the competences necessary to analyse institutional and cultural factors and to plan and manage cooperation initiatives to aid developing countries.

The programme, which has been developed by the Faculties of Political Science, Sociology, Communications and Humanities, equips students with interdisciplinary knowledge and the tools necessary to analyse and comprehend the context they will find in developing countries, as well as to manage peace projects and international development cooperation programmes.

The programme also provides students with advanced skills that will allow them to:

Work in fluent English (written and spoken) and reach a good working knowledge of French, Spanish and other optional languages;

Use communication and information management tools.

For the second year of the programme, students select one of three curricula that combine a high level of specialized knowledge with practical training:

Social, Political, Institutional

Economics

Finance & Development

During the first year which is the same for all students, foreign and Italian students may attend courses taught in English as an alternative to equivalent courses in Italian.
